Xu Qing didn't want to directly make Bill Gates stunned, he didn't expect Xu Qing to come according to the routine at all.

The normal routine should not be the condition that Xu Qing wants to listen to Microsoft, and then he will say the conditions, and then Xu Qing will think about it, and finally agree to the conditions, and both parties will be happy, this is the normal routine.

Bill Gates hasn't seen anyone reject his conditions for many years, let alone not even say the conditions, and others don't want to hear them.

Fortunately, he has learned well in the emotional control course over the years, and he can still keep smiling when he hears Xu Qing's unwantedness.

Bill Gates continued to smile and said: "Mr. Xu, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let me talk about Microsoft's conditions, Microsoft is willing to exchange $100 million in cash and 1% of Microsoft's shares for 5% of the shares of Extraordinary Company." ”

Xu Qing was surprised when he heard Microsoft's conditions, and now the market value of Extraordinary Company is more than $6 billion, and 5% of the shares are equivalent to about $300 million.

Microsoft now has a market capitalization of more than $40 billion, and a 1% stake is equivalent to more than $400 million, plus $100 million in cash, for a total value of more than $500 million, which is more than $200 million more than the 5% stake in Extraordinary Corporation.

Moreover, Microsoft's 1% market value is more than 400 million US dollars, anyone can see Microsoft's development potential, and Microsoft's market value will definitely grow explosively in the future.

A 1% stake is worth more than $400 million today and could be worth more than $5 billion in the future.

In fact, the development potential of extraordinary companies is incomparable with Microsoft, this Xu Qing knows very well, he knows how terrifying Microsoft will be in the future.

Bill Gates should also be well aware that the development potential of a company that mainly relies on computer browsers cannot be compared to the overlord of computer operating systems.

Bill Gates is not stupid either, but why did he spend such a large price to take a stake in Extraordinary Company?

Xu Qing's brain is spinning rapidly, analyzing the real reason why Bill Gates took a stake in Extraordinary Company.

Bill Gates saw that Xu Qing was thinking, and he was overjoyed, as long as he didn't refuse directly like just now, then there would be a play.

The reason why he would want to spend so much money to take a stake in Extraordinary Company is not complicated at all.

He wanted to use Extraordinary as a springboard to eventually take a stake in the Future Group.

As long as Xu Qing agrees to Microsoft's stake in Extraordinary Company, no matter how Xu Qing is prepared, Microsoft has countless ways to take a stake in Future Group.

This is Bill Gates' confidence in Microsoft's world's No. 1 Internet company.

is also the confidence that he is the richest man in the world, uh, it seems that Xu Qing's net worth is more than himself.

In order to get Xu Qing to agree to Microsoft's stake in Extraordinary Company, Bill Gates came up with the condition of 1% of Microsoft's shares.

With Xu Qing's knowledge of the Internet, it is impossible not to know the development potential of Microsoft.

It is very likely that 1% of Microsoft's stake will be worth billions of dollars in the future.

If Xu Qing agrees to the conditions, then Xu Qing is now equivalent to buying a 1% stake in Microsoft for $200 million.

In the next 10 years, this will be dozens of times more profitable.

Will Xu Qing not be moved?

To be honest, Xu Qing is indeed tempted by Microsoft's 1% stake.

It's not because a 1% stake in Microsoft will be worth billions of dollars in the future, but because the value behind owning a stake in Microsoft is valued.

For a company of Microsoft's level, its share price cannot be measured simply in dollars.

If you could sell Microsoft shares with only dollars, there would have been a large number of dollar-wielding people who wanted to buy them.

If Xu Qing now gets a 1% stake in Microsoft, it will be of good help to some of Xu Qing's plans.

If Xu Qing uses 1% of the shares as a springboard to get more shares, then it will be even better.

Now Microsoft's shares are a little less difficult to buy than later generations, and the meaning behind them is not so great.

Xu Qing wants more Microsoft shares, and there are still many ways.

So do you want to promise Microsoft a stake in Extraordinary Company?

Xu Qing has already figured out why Bill Gates would come up with such generous conditions to let Microsoft take a stake in Extraordinary Company.

Microsoft is a greedy wolf of the internet, and there are countless examples to prove it.

If Xu Qing promised Microsoft if it was an extraordinary company, then it would be equivalent to luring a wolf into the room.

Can Xu Qing resist this wolf?

Xu Qing's hand unconsciously knocked on the table, and the people in the conference room didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Xu Qing.

Bill Gates also knew that Xu Qing had considered the critical moment, he crossed his hands, leaned back on the chair and looked at Xu Qing silently.

After a few minutes of silence, Xu Qing raised his head and finally spoke, "I agree to Microsoft's conditions." ”

Microsoft shares are very attractive to him, and this is a very good opportunity that he does not want to miss.

Microsoft is the wolf of the Internet, and so is Xu Qing.

And he also knows the future development trend of the Internet, which no one can match.

Bill Gates wants to contact Future Group through Extraordinary Company, and it just so happens that Xu Qing also thinks the same, it depends on which of the two sides has more powerful means in the future.

The biggest difficulty in today's negotiation has been agreed by Xu Qing, and then the two sides talked about some details, and the negotiation ended.

Xu Qing, as the host, invited Bill Gates and his party to lunch at the most luxurious restaurant in the Bay Area.

The two sides talked and laughed at the dinner table, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Only they each know it, and they are eager to buy each other's companies in their hearts.

At the end of lunch, Bill Gates and his entourage bid farewell to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing returned to the Future Group, rested for a while, and convened a meeting with managers.

According to the negotiations between the future group and Microsoft, IE and Viva Browser compete normally, as long as it is not malicious competition.

Microsoft will not abandon the development of IE just because it has a stake in Viva, unless Microsoft's stake in Viva is more than 50%, and the same is true for Viva.

This situation is very common in shopping malls, such as Didi and Meituan, which later belong to penguin companies, but these two companies are very competitive in the field of food delivery and ride-hailing.

The meeting was held this afternoon, mainly to tell the management about Microsoft's stake in Viva and Viva's stake in Microsoft.

On the other hand, some company plans need to be revised.

Because Viva has taken a stake in Microsoft, there are some plans that need to be modified in order to grow the company better.

It would be better for Xu Qing to remind the management of the dangers of Microsoft and its purpose in taking a stake in Extraordinary Company.

These people are all veterans of the Internet, and they are well aware of the dangers of Microsoft.

But they are still a little worried about whether Extraordinary Company can withstand the wolf of Microsoft.

Xu Qing told them that the current valuation of Future Group is only a little lower than Microsoft, and the confidence of these people was immediately greatly enhanced.

Microsoft has only been developing for decades to more than $40 billion, and Future Group has been developing for more than $300 in a few years.

And in terms of development potential, Future Group is no worse than Microsoft.

Faith and vigilance are required.

After the meeting, Xu Qing returned to the villa and played with the pets for a while.

The next morning, Xu Qing came to the Golden State Warriors to discuss the acquisition.
